There’s a lot of justifiable outrage at the Republican voter suppression bill in Georgia and other bills being pushed across the country by the corrupt, racist GOP. “Voter suppression” is bad and sounds bad, but this is a nationwide operation. It’s a full-out War On Democracy.
There have been a lot of diaries here about Democratic messaging. Here’s another case where Democrats are thinking small. Republicans have gotten a lot of traction by repeatedly talking up a supposed War On Religion and a War On Christmas. They even got people believing in a War On Thanksgiving. None of those things have ever actually existed, but those were all pithy,powerful sound bites that drove home the point that Republicans were trying to make.
The War On Democracy is real. Let’s hold the GOP accountable for it. Let’s not hold back. Let’s call it what it is in a way that has maximum impact. This is a War On Democracy.
